Door Painting – Update
We’ll be tackling the 3945- 3rd floor doors starting on Monday, 6/3. We’ll be gaining access from your maintenance staff to paint the door in the open position. They’ll remain open for 4-5 hours, including the dry time. We’ll be sanding the doors, applying a cleaning solution, applying a primer coat, and finally 2 top coats— this thorough application process is why we’ll be needing the doors open for a few hours. Please direct any questions to the contacts at the bottom of this page- thanks!
We’ll be posting subsequent notices before painting on the remaining floors — 3945 2nd and 1st floors followed by the 3905 Building.

We have two different crews onsite which will allow us to complete both buildings simultaneously. We’re looking forward to seeing the updated color scheme on the exterior of the buildings. Also, the route for painting is the same as the pressure washing route — see the above map. We’ll do our best to update the progress of the crews, but you’ll also be able to see their location and when you can anticipate them on your section. Thanks!

We’d like to clarify our pressure washing schedule- we will be pressure washing and prepping and painting the 3945 Building in its entirety before we pressure wash and then prep/paint the 3905 Building. We are sorry for any of the confusion caused. This means if you’re in the 3905 Building, you may put your deck contents back onto your deck. We’ll be providing notice for when you’ll need to remove your items as we near that portion of the project. Thanks!

It seems there is some color-debate about what we’ll be applying in your hallways on the walls and doors/frames. So today, we’ve applying some samples to residence alcove walls and doors on the 3rd floor of the 2945 Building.
We’ll be onsite in full force tomorrow to begin your project. As stated earlier, we’ll be starting on the 3rd floor of the 3945 Building. Thanks so much for your patience as the details are being ironed out!

Welcome to your project specific blog. Here, we’ll be posting updates regarding project progress, scheduling updates, any changes to the schedule if they arise, and then photos as well. Check back as we’ll be updating several times a week.
Your painting project includes the prep and painting of several interior areas of the 3905/3945 Buildings. We’ll be finishing your common area, residence, elevator, and laundry doors/frames. We will also be prepping and painting your entry vestibule, stairwell lobbies, and stairwell walls. Included also are the 1st/2nd/3rd floor corridor and laundry room walls.
The crew will be starting on the 3rd floor of the 3945 Building on Monday, 4/22. As we get going on the project and can gauge the crews’ pace we’ll post an estimated schedule of time to complete each floor.
The painting of your resident doors will take place near the end of the project, as we’ll need cooperation from each homeowner to paint the doors in the open position. We’ll be providing further notice will specific information regarding the doors as that part of the project approaches.
Thanks so much and we’re looking forward to getting things underway on Monday!
